	GET LAMP: Frank Fridd - Jason Scott Frank Fridd is an interactive fiction writer in England who has been writing amazing, out of the box works for decades. He does it not for money, or attention, or as some sort of stepping stone - he does it because he loves it. This comes across in the interview, which we conducted in the same hotel room as Richard Hewison and Richard Bartle, while I was in London on a trip. Frank was a warm, friendly man who took the trouble to come down... Downloads: 43
	GET LAMP: Dave West - Jason Scott Dave West is a long-time caver, and was the leader of the expedition into Bedquilt that opens the GET LAMP film. After he and the rest of the party took me down into the cave for the day, I snagged an interview with him, Roger Brucker and Tom Brucker, to get background about caves and caving and knowing how this game was based on the actual system. He was really kind to do so after a massive day of moving some annoying filmmaker around the bowels of the earth. Downloads: 44

	GET LAMP: Jim Aspnes Interview - Jason Scott One of the more common questions and statements made when I was discussing the production of GET LAMP was what role MUDs would play in the final work. MUDs, or Multi-User-Dimensions, or Multi-User-Dungeons (or Multi-Undergraduate Destroyers) were compelling, text-based worlds that took the world by storm starting in the 1970s and then attracting a mass of new adherents in the late 1980s and early 1990s with the introduction of many college students to the internet...

	GET LAMP: Ryan Russell - Jason Scott Ryan Russell and I had seen each other at a ton of DEFCON hacking conferences, and we talked about interviewing him for GET LAMP for quite a while. As it was, we finally found ourselves in the same place one year and I interviewed him for a while about his time as a playtester for Synapse software, and other related work. And then I lost the footage, due to a technical error. I let Ryan know about it, and he was happy to shoot it all again, because now he got a second bite to be more literate an... Downloads: 52

	GET LAMP: Lance Micklus Interview - Jason Scott Lance Micklus was one of my favorite experiences of all the interviews and production run of GET LAMP. As the founder of Lance Micklus, Inc., he was right there at the start of the computer game revolution, one of the small mom-and-pop software houses that put out games for computers, in his case mostly the TRS-80. His company had employees, put out a number of products that were advertised in magazines of the time, and he even did work with Scott Adams and Adventure International...

	GET LAMP: Robert Pinsky - Jason Scott Nick Montfort, prominent in GET LAMP itself, was also a big advisor behind the scenes of the whole film (any re-issues are going to credit him for it). He gave me advice on subjects, listened to the raw interviews and asked about themes, and in some cases, was able to get me in touch with people I'd really have had no hope of reaching. One of these was Robert Pinsky, poet laureate of the US, who had worked on a game called "Mindwheel" in the 1980s, and who was Nick's professor at BU at one point... Downloads: 47
	GET LAMP: Peter Nepstad - Jason Scott A cancelled interview in Chicago caused me to call Peter Nepstad, who was able to move time around to have me come over with almost no notice. (His son is in the next room playing in the kitchen.) As the creator of the IF Game 1892, he had a unique perspective as his commercial IF game was being sold in a number of museum shops and was designed to be both a game and an educational tool. He appears multiple times in the film, often talking about the process of reaching an audience and as a counte... Downloads: 84
	GET LAMP: Scott Adams Interview - Jason Scott Scott Adams is considered one of the giants of adventure games, especially text-based adventures (The Scott Adams Grand Adventures (SAGA) series is especially cited). He is the founder of Adventure International, which sold software for a variety of platforms, mostly involving entertainment. This company grew wildly through the early 1980s but eventually went bankrupt in the inevitable industry shake-out, but should be considered one of the top "old-school" microcomputer software companies...

	BBS Documentary: Interview with Pirate BBS Operator - Jason Scott Some of the documentary sessions were done by setting up in a space during conventions and recording short sequences with any attendees who wanted to speak about BBSes. Since these interview sets were unplanned and free-form, they went in really unexpected directions and ranged heavily in both subject manner and style. In one case, the interviewee did not want to be recorded on video, but wanted to be interviewed anyway... Keywords: Documentary Downloads: 4,480 Average rating: (3 reviews)

	GET LAMP: Mike Sousa Interview - Jason Scott When recording dozens of interviews for a documentary, a few are going to have notably less footage than the others, for no major reason other than time constraints and subject matter. While Mike Sousa is very scant in the GET LAMP movie and bonus features, he gave an excellent interview, the clips from which are finally available here. Mike Sousa's most notable feature to me that caused me to seek him out was his method of collaborating with other authors for most of his work; he'd worked with ...

	Wikipedia, Brick by Brick - Jason Scott Wikipedia, the "Free Encyclopedia that Anyone Can Edit" is now one of the top 20 websites on the Internet, and increasingly a primary source of information for many thousands of users every day. It also contains a number of fatal flaws in its architecture that it is slowly fixing through a number of fundamental changes being implemented each month.

	GET LAMP: Jeremy Douglass - Jason Scott Jeremy Douglass was one of a number of interactive fiction doctorates I interviewed for GET LAMP. In Jeremy's case, his defense was imminent (or it might have just happened, I don't quite remember) and so this was all a relatively new thing for him. His mind was full of his dissertation's research so he was a great interview just on that level of things. He drew a lot of parallels of writing and games and interactive fiction, and he'd been involved with the whole modern scene for years and years... Downloads: 59

	GET LAMP: Stephen Granade Interview - Jason Scott Stephen Granade is one of the rare writers who was paid, for some amount of time, to write about Interactive Fiction regularly.

	GET LAMP: Mary-Ann Buckles - Jason Scott As soon as I'd heard of Mary Ann Buckles' story, I wanted to interview her, but it turned out to be a lot harder than I'd expected. She was featured in an article by Michael Erard in the New York Times in 2004, talking about how her pioneering work in game studies, a classic dissertation, had not been of interest to her in her life since academia, and she'd never looked back. In fact, she'd thrown out all her work years ago... Downloads: 12,057 Average rating: (2 reviews)

But there he was, a kid who had gotten into the MIT lab and seen early Zork being played and the effect it was having on the students and computer lab users. He was articulate and provided a wonderful dash of emotion into the descriptions which I used liberally in GET L... Downloads: 79
